1983 - 1986 Moto Guzzi V 65SP[edit | edit source]
To create their new 643cc twin, Guzzi designers increased the 490cc vee's bore by six mill and its stroke by seven, which means that like all good Guzzis, it's still well oversquare. Trouble is that the bigger you build an opposed-cylinder twin, the more disposed it is to doing an impression of a road-drill at low revs, and the V65 has more in common with the lumpy 850 and 950 Guzzis than the comparatively smooth 350 and 500s.
